Nadia Miller

Nadia Miller is an experienced Mindfulness teacher and Somatic Experiencing® practitioner who specialises in helping others manage the effects and symptoms of trauma.

Nadia came to therapeutic practice after undergoing her own journey of healing from developmental and generational trauma. Having experienced first-hand the transformative power of compassion, Nadia became passionate about helping others find reconnection and healing within themselves.

Nadia’s first role in this capacity was as a volunteer at the Greater Manchester Mental Health Trusts Recovery Academy – a position she still holds. In this role, Nadia shares insights and inspiration from her own mental health journey with healthcare professionals and service users. Nadia also co-created and co-led the Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation course for the Greater Manchester Mental Health Trusts Recovery Academy.

Nadia’s practice is LGBTQ+ affirming.

Nadia has over 8 years practice in Buddhism.

Keen to help others through compassion-focused therapeutic services, Nadia was drawn to the Breathworks approach to mindfulness. She began training with them, and in 2019 became an accredited Breathworks Mindfulness Teacher. She has since delivered mindfulness to adults and primary and secondary pupils, as well as co-founding a lunchtime meditation club in her role with the General Medical Council.

Shortly after becoming a mindfulness teacher, Nadia started guest lecturing at the University of Central Lancashire’s School of Psychology and Computer Science, sharing her experiences of trauma and healing as both a survivor and a professional.

In 2020, while on a retreat, Nadia was briefly introduced to Somatic Experiencing® and she was instantly inspired. She immediately read SE founder Peter Levine’s Waking the Tiger, and knew straight away that Somatic Experiencing® was something she wanted to learn and embody. She trained with SOS Internationale, and in April 2023 qualified as a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner. Read more about Somatic Experiencing here.

Following her deepening interest in Somatic Experiencing®, Nadia began to explore the roots of developmental and pre-verbal trauma – how our earliest experiences shape the nervous system and our sense of self. This path led her to the practice of NeuroAffective Touch®, a pioneering body-based approach to trauma resolution developed by Dr Aline LaPierre.

Now studying as a NeuroAffective Touch® therapist, Nadia is a foundation graduate in the practice and offers sessions while continuing her professional training. She integrates elements of NAT into her Somatic Experiencing® sessions, and also offers it as a standalone therapy.

What is NeuroAffective Touch®?
NeuroAffective Touch® is a polyvagal-informed, psychobiological therapy that brings together elements of somatic psychotherapy, attachment and developmental theory, and interpersonal neurobiology. This approach uses intentional, attuned touch to access non-verbal memories stored in the body – often formed before we had words. By supporting the body at this early, implicit level, NAT helps resolve emotional trauma and reconnect us to our innate sense of wholeness.

Testimonials

“Nadia’s communication style is consistently clear and she is fantastic at gauging the right amount of information. She serves as an excellent guide, remaining sensitive, responsive, and collaborative without being directive. Her intuitive and perceptive nature shines through in our sessions, creating a supportive and empowering atmosphere. Additionally, her warmth and ability to hold space with feeling make each interaction deeply meaningful.
Skillful integration of somatic therapy techniques in the sessions helps me to explore my body, emotions, and inner world with safety and support. A refuge for deepening my connection with myself, unveiling hidden emotions, and nurturing self-awareness.”

“Having tried therapy before, with some success, I found that for me, there still seemed to be vital areas that remained untouched and unexplored. Though I am very new to somatic therapy, my time with Nadia gave me an emerging awareness of how this type of therapy could go beyond traditional talking therapies in order to connect with the deeper, authentic self. With Nadia, I felt heard and held within a space that allows and encourages only what is true and, importantly, only what I felt comfortable with at any given point. Nadia creates a nurturing and safe environment in which I felt supported at all times.”

“From my first session I noticed a positive change and continue to do so with each session.
Nadia provides a safe space with no judgement. She also gives insightful explanations of the nervous system and what you are experiencing in session.
To get the most out of sessions, go with an open mind, be open to suggestions, and let your body do what it needs to.”

“My sessions with Nadia over six months radically changed how I relate to myself. I always felt I could think my way out of problems, which sometimes worked but was often exhausting. I’m now learning that often I need to return to my body instead. Nadia has been a gentle, insightful and compassionate guide to this new relationship to myself.”
